ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Last Layer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Cube Puzzle has 338 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Magic Cube Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 0% of Last Layer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magic Cube Puzzle ships an update every 5 weeks, Last Layer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
